Chapter 34: Hiring A Bodyguard (1)
Seeing that the time was not early anymore, Feng Xiyan said, "Uncle Huang, I’m going back to the barracks now. I will send the soldiers to transport more grains for the porridge stalls."
Huang Wenping saluted and said, "Yes, Young Master."
Carrying the wooden box, Feng Xiyan hurriedly left the Great General’s mansion.
Back at the barracks, the other generals were already waiting for him inside the commander’s tent. Each of them carried a wooden box.
Seeing Feng Xiyan return, Zhan Qi opened his wooden box and said, "Great General, I brought the new clothes my mother prepared for my future wife. Since I never planned to marry, I’ve decided to offer them to Fairy Bai."
Looking at the red wedding dress inside, Feng Xiyan paused as he recalled the one his mother had prepared for his own future wife.
While he was staring at the wedding dress, Tan Pengtai opened his smaller box and said, "My wife wants to offer these pieces of jewelry to Fairy Bai, in gratitude for saving our children’s lives."
After he said that, Xue Ruhong opened the large box beside him and said, "Great General, this is my grandfather’s favorite vase. My family is all gone now, so I have decided to give it to Fairy Bai. I hope this small offering can help save other families from starvation."
Looking at the offerings they brought, Feng Xiyan’s eyes reddened. These items weren’t worth much in silver or gold, but their sentimental value was priceless.
He looked at them and said sincerely, "Thank you."
After saying that, Feng Xiyan then placed his wooden box in front of the altar and knelt down with the generals.
